2623 Appearance of Emperors
In the direction of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, a figure with a terrifying aura appeared slowly. It seemed to be looking down on the world and was unparalleled, emitting an endless might!
Against such a majestic might, even the Immortal Kings and Heavenly Kings present could not defend against it, let alone the Perfected Immortals and Arhats!
An Immortal Emperor had appeared!
Su Zimo focused his gaze. The facial features of this Immortal Emperor were similar to Prince Qin Ce.
If he was not wrong, this should be Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament!
Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament stood in midair and his tremendous might faced the Builder Tree from afar, blocking the thousands of branches temporarily, as though he was communicating with something.
However, the Builder Tree had already fallen into a berserk state and did not give Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament any face at all, releasing an even more terrifying might.
Box
The thousands of branches of the Builder Tree broke free from the control of Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament instantly and enveloped in the direction of the Builder Tree Mountain Range.
The Builder Tree’s thousands of thick branches were lush and covered the skies. A large shadow enveloped down in a suffocating manner!
Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament’s expression was terrible.
Even with his combat strength, he could not fight against the enraged Builder Tree.
In a flash, Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament made a decision. Waving his robes, he protected the cultivators of the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain and retreated into the distance.
Given his strength, if he chose to protect all the cultivators from the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Pure Land of Bliss at the peak of the Builder Tree, he would definitely be severely injured by the Builder Tree as well!
As an Immortal Emperor in charge of an entire Immortal Domain, there was no way he would take that risk.
It was already extremely benevolent of him to protect the immortals of the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain.
When the other cultivators of the two domains saw that, they quickly realized the intentions of Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament.
All of them had been heartlessly abandoned!
The immortals and monks were indignant. However, although they harbored resentment, they did not dare to offend Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament in any way.
Furthermore, they would not get the chance either.
The attack of the Builder Tree had already descended and cultivators of the two domains on the peak of the Builder Tree were about to die on the spot!
Right then, the blinding golden light in the direction of the Pure Land of Bliss s.h.i.+fted rapidly and shone on the immortals and monks on the peak of the Builder Tree through the gaps in the leaves.
Everyone seemed to be covered in a layer of sacred gold foil that shone brightly.
Bang! Boom!
Thousands of branches smashed down with a series of deafening bangs.
The Builder Tree Mountain Range beneath everyone had already collapsed completely!
However, the immortals and monks were shrouded by a layer of divine golden light that blocked most of the damage released by the Builder Tree.
Unknowingly, a middle-aged monk was s.h.i.+elding everyone from the Builder Tree alone, protecting all of them!
An Emperor of the Buddhist monasteries had descended!
Compared to the Builder Tree, the middle-aged monk seemed incomparably tiny.
His body was not even as thick as a branch of the Builder Tree.
However, at that moment, to everyone, the back view of the middle-aged monk seemed extremely tall and mighty.
It was especially so when they compared him to Immortal Emperor Grand Firmament—the difference was obvious!
“Patrons, hurry and retreat! I won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”
The middle-aged monk’s body swayed slightly and his voice turned hoa.r.s.e, as though he had suffered quite a blow.
The immortals and monks seemed to have woken up from a dream as they hurriedly circulated their movement techniques and fled into the distance.
The golden light of the middle-aged monk destroyed the green halo released by the Builder Tree previously.
This meant that the Immortal King experts could tear through the void and leave this place at any moment.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body saw the two Emperors appear, he did not dare to hesitate and tore through the void hurriedly, entering a spatial tunnel.
Thereafter, he summoned the h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod rapidly and guarded it behind him before glancing in the direction of the middle-aged monk.
As an Emperor expert, there was naturally a chance that the middle-aged monk might attack him.
The reason why he summoned the h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod was to prevent any accidents.
For some unknown reason, perhaps because the middle-aged monk was too busy facing the Builder Tree or because he was injured and was unwilling to bother about the Martial Dao Prime Body…
In any case, from the moment the Martial Dao Prime Body tore through the void to the moment he left this place, the middle-aged monk did not attack him.
However, the moment the Martial Dao Prime Body turned back and looked at the middle-aged monk, he realized that the latter was looking at him as well.
Their eyes met.
For some unknown reason, the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
The middle-aged monk had handsome features and a benevolent expression that left a favorable impression. However, the Martial Dao Prime Body was certain that he had never seen this person before.
How could that be?
Where did that sense of familiarity come from?
The Martial Dao Prime Body was not the only one—the Green Lotus True Body was also reminiscing.
Su Zimo believed that the sense of familiarity that flashed through the Martial Dao Prime Body’s mind earlier on was definitely not without reason.
The cultivators of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Pure Land of Bliss made use of the time bought by the middle-aged monk to finally escape from the attack range of the Builder Tree.
The cultivators had pale expressions as they looked in the direction of the Builder Tree with lingering fear.
If not for the appearance of the Emperor of the Buddhist monasteries, everyone present would have been buried at the peak of the Builder Tree beneath the rubble!
“As expected of someone from the Buddhist monasteries. He’s compa.s.sionate and sacrificed himself to save others. He’s truly on a different level from us, impressive!”
“That’s right. This accomplished monk saved all of us. We shall definitely remember this lifesaving grace and repay him till our deaths.”
“I wonder who this Emperor of the Buddhist monasteries is. What’s his Dharmic t.i.tle?”
After escaping, many cultivators looked at the middle-aged monk in the distance and could not help but discuss softly.
Zen Master Hui Wen pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully, “This senior looks like Heavenly Lord Six Brahma…”
After the middle-aged monk appeared, his back was facing the immortals and monks and no one could see him clearly.
Before long, the middle-aged monk escaped unscathed from the Builder Tree and arrived here.
Everyone could clearly see that the kasaya on the middle-aged monk’s chest was stained with blood—it was clear that he was injured after fighting against the Builder Tree!
“It’s truly Heavenly Lord Six Brahma!”
Zen Master Hui Wen’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the middle-aged monk. Delighted, he hurried forward and clasped his palms together, bowing.
“Greetings, Senior Six Brahma!”
He was not the only one. A few other Heavenly Kings of the Buddhist monasteries recognized the middle-aged monk and hurried forward to greet him as well. They were surprised and delighted with deep respect in their eyes.
When the other monks saw that, they no longer had any doubts and knelt down hurriedly with elated expressions, chanting the name of Heavenly Lord Six Brahma.
“Heavenly Lord Six Brahma…”
Suddenly, Su Zimo recalled a piece of information that Liu Ping had told him back in Heaven and Earth Academy.
It was said that after Emperor Bo Xun appeared and killed a few Heavenly Kings in succession, he disappeared and only Heavenly King Six Brahma survived.
Heavenly King Six Brahma was enlightened after the calamity. He advanced courageously in Buddhism and became an Emperor, now known as Heavenly Lord Six Brahma.
This accomplished monk even opened a forum in the Buddhist monasteries to preach sutras and spread Dharmic Dao widely. He attracted countless Buddhist monks and had a huge impact in recent years.
Su Zimo frowned and fell into deep thought. It was a nagging feeling, as though he had neglected something.
